SYNTEXA Setup Guide

Quick Start (Recommended)

Since Apache2 is not fully installed, use the Python proxy:

# Start the application
./start.sh

This will:

• Start Flask app on port 5000
• Start proxy server on port 8080
• Handle requests for syntexa.app

Access Your Application

• Local: http://localhost:8080
• Domain: http://syntexa.app:8080 (if DNS is configured)
• IP: http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080

Files Created

• proxy.py - Reverse proxy server
• start.sh - Startup script
• apache_config.conf - Apache2 config (for future use)

If You Get Apache2 Working Later

1. Install Apache2:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2

2. Enable required modules:

sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod headers

3. Copy the config:

sudo cp apache_config.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/syntexa.app.conf
sudo a2ensite syntexa.app.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2

Troubleshooting

• Port 8080 in use: Change PROXY_PORT in proxy.py
• Flask not starting: Check if all dependencies are installed
• Permission denied: Make sure start.sh is executable

Current Setup

• ✅ Flask app on port 5000
• ✅ Proxy server on port 8080
• ✅ Domain routing for syntexa.app
• ✅ CORS headers
• ✅ Error handling
